PurposeInnovations are imperative for organizational growth and sustainability. This study focuses on the employees' innovative behavior, a source of organizational innovations, which has received substantial attention from the researchers. Based on the psychological empowerment theory, the study exposes the effect of the various dimensions of public service motivation (PSM) on employees' innovative behavior (IB) in public sector institutions especially in the context of developing countries such as Pakistan. Moreover, the study also investigates the mediating role of psychological empowerment (PSE) between the dimensions of PSM and IB.Design/methodology/approachThis study used the cross-sectional research design. By using random sampling, the adapted survey questionnaires were used to collect data from 346 faculty members of public sector universities located in provincial capitals of Pakistan. A partial least square–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) tool was used to assess the proposed hypotheses through SMART-PLS software.FindingsResults revealed that attraction to policymaking (APM), compassion (COM), self-sacrifice (SS) have a significant impact on employees' PSE and their innovative behavior, while the relationship of commitment to the public interest (CPI) with PSE and IB was found insignificant. Moreover, PSE partially mediated the relationship between PSM dimensions and employees' IB.Originality/valueThere was a scarcity of research on IB especially in public sector institutions such as academia. This study theoretically contributed to the literature by providing a refined picture in assessing the proposed relationship of the constructs. This is also one of the original studies that examine the relationship between the dimensions of PSM and IB.

The Relationship

Improving individual employee and organizational performance has been the main concern of many organizations for decades and several factors have also been studied as predictors of employee performance. However, the bulk of studies are mainly conducted in the private sector organizations with few attentions accorded to the public sector organizations, even though at present the difference between the two sectors is not much especially with introduction of privatization and New Public Management in the public sector. Drawing upon Social Exchange Theory and the application of Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM), this study examined the mediating role of public service motivation on the relationship between job autonomy, communication practices and employee task and contextual performance. The participants were 288 senior staff of local governments in north-western part of Nigeria. The findings suggested that both job autonomy and communication practices predicted employee task and contextual performance. It was also found that public service motivation is an important mechanism (mediator) in the relationship.

The Relationship

International organizations are important actors in the fight against global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and civil wars. To deliver on their promises, they need efficient, effective international public administrations (IPAs) with highly qualified and committed staff. However, public management research has not identified the antecedents of organizational commitment in IPAs. Drawing from traditional public management literature, this study examines how public service motivation (PSM) and person-organization fit (PO fit) influence organizational commitment in IPAs. Findings from a survey of 101 employees of a European IPA show that both PSM and PO fit have a positive effect on organizational commitment, but contrary to established results in public management research, PO fit does not act as a mediator in the relationship between PSM and commitment.

And Performance

Public service motivation (PSM) has been linked to various outcome variables, but as more and more public administration research is devoted to improving performance, the possible link between PSM and performance is increasingly of interest. The current study contributes to this literature by investigating whether this relationship is present in a dataset of Belgian civil servants. The results corroborate the general thesis and demonstrate a mediation effect (to some extent) of job satisfaction and organizational commitment on this relationship. By doing so, the present study partly unveils the mechanisms upon which the PSM—performance relationship is based. Points for practitioners The findings of this study should urge public managers and decision-makers to value the effect of PSM in a public sector environment. First, as individual PSM apparently correlates with performance, this might provide some ideas about how to manage human resources in an effectiveness and efficiency driven public sector. Considering PSM in recruitment, retention and training may engender better individual performance. Next to this, the mediating role of job satisfaction and organizational commitment should enable public managers to find more openings to harness PSM effectively. After all, it embeds PSM better into vested theory and practices, with which practitioners may be more familiar.
